Michael Schenker and Temple of Rock – Bridge The Gap 2013

This record finds Michael partnered with veteran shouter Doogie White – the singing Scotsman has written the best melodies and lyrics to be heard on a Schenker project in a great many years, and there is something magical that happens when Michael is matched up with his Scorpions brothers, Herman Rarebell and Francis Buccholz.

The album kicks off with the brief instrumental, ,,Neptune Rising”, and Schenker catapults out of the gates with ricocheting shards of molten metal over the top of Wayne Findlay’s heavier than heavy seven string rhythm – no wonder the Neptune is set to become the next guitar out of the Dean factory. This is a very heavy album, make no bones about it – it’s very contemporary in its sheer breadth, but it’s always so compellingly melodic that the heavy never sounds weighty. Doogie is getting better all the time, and that’s maybe the message of this entire record. Everyone here is playing at their apex, and they’re reaching deeper and mining pure gold. A happy day for rock’n’roll. Digi-media book.
